What you actually get when you call us.
This started as two people and a truck in 1998 and grew on water, sewer and drain work. Nearly three decades in one trade, not a franchise name bought off a shelf last year.
Sewer and drain problems get a camera down the line first, and you see the screen. Nobody trenches a yard on a guess when a fifteen minute look will show the break.
Told you need a full repipe or a new sewer line? Get it looked at again. Sometimes it is a smaller fix, and sometimes we confirm the first plumber was right so you can spend with confidence.
You hear the number before a wrench moves. No hourly meter running while you stand there, and no discovering the real cost after the wall is open.
Burst pipes and sewage backups do not wait for business hours. The phone is answered at night and on weekends, and the first thing you get is help finding your shutoff.
What you probably want to know before you book.
Yes, and it starts with an actual water test rather than a guess. Hardness, iron and sulfur all need different equipment, so the Lost Nation system gets sized off what is really in your water.
Almost always. A cable machine or hydro jet goes in through an existing cleanout and clears the line from there. In Lost Nation the camera goes down afterward so you can see whether it was grease, roots or a broken section.
A camera goes down the line first so you can see the break and how deep it is. Where the depth and the yard allow it, a Lost Nation sewer repair can be done trenchless and leave most of the lawn alone.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Lost Nation is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Lost Nation leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
Yes. Every Lost Nation job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your municipality requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice and available before the truck rolls.
The work speaks, but so do the people who paid for it.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Pressure tank was short cycling every time we ran a tap. Diagnosed a waterlogged tank, replaced it, and the pump is not hammering on and off anymore."
"Good work on the sewer line, camera first so I could see the root ball myself. Took a day longer than quoted because of the rain, but they called me both mornings instead of leaving me guessing."
